Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Whiteford, MD.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this family and financial information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Whiteford only makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes treatment.
